Week 2 discussion
Personalizing the
Writing Process
We’ve covered a few very important characteristics of good
writing this week: How to write effective sentences and paragraphs, avoiding
common errors, documenting your sources, and thinking critically as you write.
Now, here’s a scenario that will allow you to practice what you’ve learned.
For any writer, telling one’s life story in three paragraphs
can be a challenge, but an exciting one.
Initial Post Requirements
For this reflection, write an initial post composed of three
sections:
Your life story in roughly three full paragraphs.
A reflection: What was challenging about writing your life
story in three paragraphs? (one paragraph minimum)
A Personal Writing Plan: With this assignment in mind, list
some areas of written communication on which you’d like to focus in order to
become a better writer.
Some areas for writing improvement include (but are not
limited to):
grammar and punctuation
sentence structure
paragraph structure
organizing thoughts
using the best wording
writing with clarity
Reply Post Requirements

about their writing plan. What similarities and differences do you see to your
own? Share where you plan to focus your attention to improve.
